Terry, Gary and David on this single, shore entry dive of 114 minutes. Maximum depth 6.1 m, 26 C water temperature and < 1 m viz.
The poor viz of less than a metre obviously had an impact on our sightings. It is worth noting though that the Thuridilla carlsoni is the first species of Thuridilla sighted in the river. Many of the white specks on the substrate proved to be Goniodoridella sp. 1 specimens.
